Companion Carer Jobs in Blackridge

Companionship care in Blackridge is about conversation, shared routines and gentle practical support. You’ll spend time chatting, going for short outings, supporting hobbies and helping keep a calm, welcoming home. This role suits people who enjoy company more than clinical tasks and who take pride in steady, reliable presence for someone who values reassurance and friendship in daily life. Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed companion carers with families across Blackridge and the surrounding area. You choose the people you work with, the hours you accept and the distance you’ll travel — whether that’s around Blackridge itself or out to Armadale, Whitburn, Bathgate, Stoneyburn, Airdrie and Grahamston. Typical rates for these roles are £18.80–£20 per hour. If you want, you can reference £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly work or £144–£160 per day for day-rate live-in care when you speak to clients.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life usually offers. You’ll spend time building relationships: joining for meals, helping with light household tasks, encouraging hobbies, accompanying clients to appointments or community activities, and offering company that keeps people engaged and safe. It’s hands-on companionship, not clinical nursing.

PrimeCarers supports you while you work. We find clients, draft contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you’re on a job — so you can focus on care. You remain self-employed: you set your own rate and choose every client and shift. Applying takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll guide you through each check and help present your experience clearly so families in Blackridge and across West Lothian can find you.
